    Death: 06/06/2007

    Ruka was a sweet loving girl that loved ALL of the 12 children in her household.
    She was on a nightly walk with one of the teen boys when a very large dog from down the street came towards her, and not back down...
    Towards strange dogs, this 1/2 African was very submissive and frightened...
    She fought until she could back out of the chokechain and was gone.
    Her body was never found nor turned in to any local vets or animal shelters.
    The area she ran toward ws very wooded and had coyotes in it.

    Miss Ruka.....
    Sissy Be La and our Dear Grandma De La are waiting for you.

    ALL of your children and parents miss you incredibly and a void has been left in their hearts.

    Check your choke chains....
    make sure they are fitted properly and worn correctly.

    I am very sorry for your loss!!!

    But I do wonder are you sure she has passed over to the other side? I don't mean to bring up sad memories, but was she injured in the attack? It's just that you said her body was never found

    I am really sorry to hear about your little girl but I do wonder as well if maybe there is a slight chance she might still be alive somewhere in the woods.

    Wow, what a devistating tale. Collars and harnesses are tricky when it comes to basenjis. I am a true believer in the safety choke collar.

    You never know what life will bring your way. I am so sorry for your loss.

    So sorry for the loss of your family member and also that you had the extra stress of finding an alternative vet. The photos are a lovely tribute and my favourite is the one of her in the swim suit too!

    My brother in law gave me a plaque that says: "It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them, and every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are." I am sorry for your loss.

    I am SO sorry to hear of the passing of your Sweet Cosmo. I know the hole she leaves in your heart, but she left knowing that she was loved as much as she could be loved and I am sure she loved you the same! I feel confident that we will be reunited with our dear Basenjis one day. Sending love and prayers for both of you.
